I am using a Radio-Shack gutter-mount antenna mounted just behind the
driver's door.  It took a little tweaking to get it to tighten sufficiently,
but it works.  The cable is routed through the door opening.  I chose this
type of antenna since the fiberglass top precludes the use of a
magnetic-mount.  I did not want a gigantic fiberglass pole either.  My CB is
a Cobra with mic-mounted CB controls.  The head unit rests out of sight
behind the driver's seat.  I chose the mic control model so I wouldn't have
drill or cut the dash to mount it.  Thus far I've had good reception and
apparently the unit sounds clear on the other end as well.

Chris,
